Wow, there's a real sense of satisfaction from producing a good photograph that doesn't require serious manipulation to make it look decent. I don't think my new work is great, but I'm keen to improve. I'd say I should've started this way but I've picked up lots of digital manipulation skills which can be used to subtley enhance a photo.

Uni is a pleasent Hell. I have a total of 4,500 words due over the next few days, and a further 4,000 to do over my Xmas break. Apparently this is nothing compared to 3rd year, I'm torn between cautious confidence and hysterics. I am having a good time, and the deal I got on my rent has proved to be pretty damn good.

I work at The Disney Store now, and this also me torn between 2 conflicting emotions; juvenile giddiness and complete and utter disdain. It's fun, but it's not that fun. Some people need to calm the fuck down, you know? They're just soft toys. Everything that isn't nailed down has 'High School Musical' branded onto it and there's a constant feeling that 'the big bosses' are merciless, anally-retentive dictators. But, the people I work with are mostly good to great, so I'm pretty happy.

Note to self: take more photos soon.
